* '''Drooling.''' In the past, we've had pages for actresses that consisted primarily of gushing about how hot they are.

They don't have to dress hiper-modestly on them but the photos shouldn't be very provocative either.

Wiki/TVTropes is primarily about {{trope}}s and the works that use them. However, oftentimes information about an {{author|s}}, {{actor|s}}, {{director|s}}, {{producer|s}}, {{mangaka}}, {{composer|s}}, {{animator|s}}, [[VideogameCompanies developer]], or other creator can be relevant to our understanding of the tropes in their works. To that end, we have {{Creator|s}} pages.

* '''Trivia about them.''' We have lots of tropes and {{Trivia}} that can legitimately apply to creators, like DyeingForYourArt, TrollingCreator, PenName, CreatorBreakdown, and AuthorExistenceFailure. Most of these are okay to include on a creator page, or on their {{Trivia}} subpage as appropriate.

Note, however, that not all pages about people will fall into this category. Some, such as ThePresidents, are UsefulNotes and/or {{Historical Domain Character}}s. Others are pages for {{musicians}} or {{professional wrestl|ing}}ers that, while they may look like creator pages, are actually work pages for documenting the tropes used in their performances (and should be in the Music/ and Wrestling/ Administrivia/{{namespace}}s, respectively, with the page type "work", not "creator").

Creator pages go in the Creator/ Administrivia/{{namespace}} and get the "creator" [[WhatPageTypesMean page type]]. We have an index for creators; it can be found [[{{Creators}} here]].

** '''An index of their works that have pages.''' Some creator pages use their bulleted list of works as an index for those works. This is usually reserved for higher-level creators like VideoGameCompanies. Examples include Creator/ValveSoftware and Creator/DarkHorseComics.
